Description

It mystifies me as to how the MoS can call this a collection of 'classics'. This album is purely commercial, and if you're looking for some true definitive trance music then look away. After being an avid fan of this genre for so long I was almost in tears at such a tracklist.Let's start with the positives - and trust me, this won't take long. Tracks like 'System F - Out of the Blue', and 'Gouryella - Gouryella' certainly deserve to be on an album bearing such a title, as it's true that they have been a huge influence on the trance scene. 'William Orbit - Barber's Adagio For Strings (Ferry Corstenmore… Mix)' is another true classic, along with possibly 'Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar'.Thr rest of this album, however, is riddled with melodies that lack emotion, vocal lines aimed at pop fans, and downright poor productions. Considering that many of these tracks are from the past two years says something by itself - the genre of trance was at its peak back in 1999, so where are the tracks that really defined trance, like 'Rank 1 - Airwave', 'Gouryella - Walhalla', and 'Veracocha - Carte Blanche'? Those are the real classics.Tracks like 'Scooter - The Logical Song', 'Dee Dee - Forever' and 'Iio - Rapture' are clearly included in an attempt to grab the attention of those that follow the pop charts. And trance that mingles with pop music is never of a high standard, and never carries any sort of emotion or real inspiration.If you're an avid trance fan, this album will disgust you. If you're someone looking to get more into trance, this album will mislead you. But if you're someone who likes pop dance tunes, you will probably enjoy this CD. In my opinion, the Ministry are gradually destroying a truly excellent musical genre that they should have just left alone.
